Summary

I am current full time and dedicated university student doing a four year double degree of Political Science and Arts with casual work during holiday periods on a cattle farm with a certificate IV in crime and justice. Passionate about policy development, social equity and community engagement, I have a unique combination of hands on experience with the complexities of providing volunteering disability services in a low socio-economic rural area and the resilience, strong work ethic and team work required in stressful and demanding environments as my work as a farm hand. My coursework has also refined my ability to communicate effectively, both in written and verbal forms, equipping me to navigate policy discussions and contribute to informed decision-making. My unique background in the care industry and rural Australia in combination with my education ensures that I have unique perspectives.
